Publisher's Summary

One of the most respected and awarded of all contemporary science-fiction writers, Connie Willis repeatedly amazes her many admiring fans with her ability to create vivid characters in unusual situations. With Doomsday Book, she takes listeners on a thrilling trip through time to discover the things that make us most human.

For Oxford student Kivrin, traveling back to the 14th century is more than the culmination of her studies - it's the chance for a wonderful adventure. For Dunworthy, her mentor, it is cause for intense worry about the thousands of things that could go wrong. When an accident leaves Kivrin trapped in one of the deadliest eras in human history, the two find themselves in equally gripping - and oddly connected - struggles to survive.

Deftly juggling stories from the 14th and 21st centuries, Willis provides thrilling action - as well as an insightful examination of the things that connect human beings to each other.

What the Critics Say

Hugo Award, Best Novel, 1993

Nebula Award, Best Novel, 1992

"Ms. Willis displays impressive control of her material; virtually every detail introduced in the early chapters is made to pay off as the separate threads of the story are brought together." (The New York Times Book Review)"A stunning novel that encompasses both suffering and hope....The best work yet from one of science fiction's best writers." (The Denver Post)

Now more than ever, I am recommending that everyone I know listen to this book. It is an amazing, satisfying, beautiful and terrible story mostly about a time traveler who is trapped in a small medieval village that is stricken by the plague. Meanwhile, current day Oxfordshire is also suffering from an especially virulent flu and attendant quarantine. The book was written in 1992 and much of the action takes place in a squalid, medieval village and yet it is all terribly timely. The characters and setting are beautifully written and this is one of the most moving books I've ever had the pleasure of reading or listening to.
Three more selling points for this great book: 1) I love a good, long book from Audible and "Doomsday" is a wonderful 26 hours and 30 minuets of listening to one of my favorite narrators, Jenny Sterlin. 2) "Doomsday won a Hugo Award in 93 and Nebula Award in 92 and 3) Connie Willis has written another book with some of the same characters that is much lighter in tone yet still very worth reading and a good way to recover from the terrible, searing beauty of "The Doomsday Book". That other book is also available on Audible :"To Say Nothing of the Dog"
Listen to "Doomsday" first, save "To Say Nothing of the Dog" to cheer you up and you can then finish off with Jerome K Jerome's sweetly funny "Three Men in a Boat". There- I've just come up with a great plan for your next 50 or hours of Audible listening. You can thank me later. After you've thoroughly enjoyed all of these amazing books.

I listened to this on vacation and the beach, and it promised to be pure, guilty-pleasure ear candy. I was not disappointed by the writing, the concept, or the reading (the narrator is fanTAStic).

However, I would put a warning label on this that the whole second half of the book is (vague spoiler alert) sort of a sinkhole of depressing events. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a "pick-me-up" or a happily-ever-after type story.

I guess a book about the plague wouldn't be a typical candidate for that anyway, but for history buffs like me, taking a time machine back to the Middle Ages sounds like such a "fun" idea...and this just isn't a "fun" story.

Still, DEFINITELY worth a read...when you're in the right mood for a downer.

I mistakenly read this series out of order starting with book 2 first. That book "To Say Nothing of the Dog" was an upbeat, funny, and happy experience. The title of this book should be a warning to future readers--"Doomsday". Don't start this book thinking this will be a happy listen. Very long, repetitive, plodding and detailed. That said, I admit I still couldn't stop listening. Time travel and enthralling stories that alternate between past and future. Characters are developed into people that captivate and make the long hours of listening possible. A thoughtful look at time, perception, life, illness and epidemics. A perfect example that even a grueling book can be worth a listen.

I loved this book! I listened to another Willis book "To Say Nothing of the Dog" (also an award winner) and enjoyed it immensely. Then, I debated downloading this one. The terrible reviews almost stopped me - but I'm so glad I didn't listen to them. I imagine fans of action/adventure-oriented Science Fiction would not appreciate it. However, if you like more character-oriented scifi, historical novels and British literature, you are likely to enjoy this as I did. I agree that the narration isn't especially outstanding, but I found it perfectly adequate. The characters are very well-developed and many are truly lovable. Try it!

This audio book was 26 hours of torture. The reviews of the print book apply here, as far as the excruciating delays and obstacles that the characters had to overcome just to get minor pieces of information. At least in the book you can skip over the repeated incidents of Badri saying, "Something's... wrong." And of Kivrin trying and failing to speak to the knight but never quite being able to, despite being in the same room with him on multiple occasions. With the audio book you have to listen to every bloody word. It went on, and on, and on, like a nightmare. After a while I started to hate it quite a lot. I kept waiting for it to GO somewhere, for something to HAPPEN. And it never did.

I like long books. If you do too, for the sake of our sanity read/ listen to something else.

A pessimist might say, well that's 26 and a half hours of my life I'll never get back. An optimist might respond, well at least it saves us from having to listen to the other 63 and a half hours of this series. Seriously: you've been warned.

Neil Young once introduced his song, Don't Let It Bring You Down, by saying, here's a song guaranteed to bring you right down -- it starts off slowly and then peters out altogether. If only that were true of Doomsday Book, which starts of slowly, 18 hours worth of slow, and then turns downright awful for the final eight hours. Unless you've been hankering for graphic descriptions of death by plague (eight hours worth!), consider yourself warned.

At the 18 hour mark, there was a moment where I thought this might all be worth it. I could see exactly how Willis could bring together her story of time travel from the mid-21st century to the 14th century, with its bookend epidemics and attempts to bring the time traveller back from the deep dark past. But instead of tying together the scant plot strands, she gives us eight hours of the plague.

I listened to Willis's Bellwether and absolutely loved it. A neat, satisfying six and a half hour bundle of genius. I thought Doomsday Book might be Bellwether times four, the entire Oxford series Bellwether times fourteen. If only Willis had distilled this down to a manageable 8-12 hours, maybe it would have lived up to its hype and awards (by cutting out the endless repetition, for example, or cutting down the graphic description of the plague -- half an hour of plague would have sufficed).

This is beyond disappointment. This was simply awful -- 18 hours of boring followed by eight hours of awful. Thanks to Jenny Sterlin for narration that at least makes the listening easy on the ears. Too bad the writing was not at the same level.

Junior high school students maybe, because it sounds like a junior high school student wrote it.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Well, I decided on this book because I've been going through the winners of the Hugo and Nebula awards. After listening to this book I've realised that just because a book has won the two biggest awards in sci-fi that doesn't mean it's any damn good.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The book had so many problems that even the best narrator would have had a hard time not being pulled down by it. Jenny Sterlin was alright but her pace was so slow and she took such long pauses that it made the story terribly ponderous and lumbering. I really couldn't wait for the thing to end but she just kept plodding along. I wished I could have sped her reading up until she sounded like a chipmunk just to get the ordeal over with.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

This is probably one of the most irritating books I've ever experienced. So why did I finish it? Because I was expecting some great reveal at the end that was going to bring all of this nonsense together and help me understand why people think it's so great. And then there's the repetition, the repetition, the repetition... "There's something wrong.", "I have to find the drop." Over and over and over again. I seriously started to think that we were going to find out that everyone had some sort of brain injury or something. Nope. This is just a terrible story.

Any additional comments?

Connie Willis seemed to just want to put some futuristic people back in the middle ages but she was too lazy to actually build a sensible story to do it. Instead everything that contributes to the conflict of the story is all just coincidence, several of which are never explained. Then the main characters of the book bungle around getting distracted with trivialities allowing things to get worse and never once acting like the intelligent people that Willis has tried to make us believe they are. The only sensible character in the story is a 12 year old kid and really, he's the only reason to listen to this audiobook.

She really voiced the different characters with their feelings and emotions well.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

1) The reader was excellent!2) The character "Collin" was the only breath of fresh air.

Any additional comments?

Truly a depressing story. All the characters, and book universe were so self centered, mean, sterile and unbelievable that I didn't care if everyone died and the book ended in the first 60 minutes. It was like watching a train wreck! I wanted to stop listening but I already had several hours into it so I had to stay for the whole 20+ hours! Kirvren was sent back in time with less preparation than a private in today's Army! She was so unprepared, naive and idiotic that it was laughable. The continued petty political differences and agendas among the History staff were absolutely ludicrous. The supporting characters were worse. I know that I'm probably in the minority with my review if this book but it was very dissapoinpting!

Would you be willing to try another one of Jenny Sterlin’s performances?

Huh?

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Doomsday Book?

Chapter 2-34 (Book has 35 chapters)

Any additional comments?

I think Connie Willis must have been smoking pot when she wrote this. She keeps writing the same things, over and over and over again. The plague was bad, somebody dies, somebody's sad, the plague was bad, somebody dies, somebody's sad....

do not be put off by the old fashioned start to this book as it improves as it goes on and the plot unfolds. I will be searching out another book by this author. Agreat listen

"Disappointing comedy of manners"

This listener found Jenny Sterlin's voice flat and uninteresting, which was a drawback for such a long book. There's also a passage of a few paragraphs which gets repeated in the first section of the download, an indication of a lower standard of audio production than most recent Audible recordings.

As for the story itself, I was very disappointed. The pace is extremely leisurely and while the depiction of the pettiness of academic life is mildly amusing, the story failed to grip. Every time I was getting into it, I found myself shaken out by jarring inaccuracies of language or geographical detail. Clearly, these haven't bothered other listeners, but this one found that they severely impeded his ability to suspend disbelief.

A British character who refers to cars as "automobiles"? Cases that are called "valises"? A hospital accident and emergency department called "Casualties" rather than "Casualty"? A pub in the centre of Oxford which is nearly empty a few days before Christmas?

The geography is particularly bad. The heroine, who has travelled back to the fourteenth century to a location 10 miles west of Oxford, imagines that she might be able to see the sky glow of London "50 miles away". From that location, mediaeval London would be 70 miles away. I can't imagine much of a sky glow at that period but, besides, the Chiltern Hills would have blocked any such view even had it been available.

In her cover story, she is supposedly travelling from Yorkshire to Evesham via Oxford, which is a strange and indirect route to take, and is travelling on the road from Oxford to Bath, which runs in entirely the wrong direction.

Such details are individually trivial but cumulatively produce an impression of an author who really doesn't know Oxford and has a poor grasp of British idiom.

I was hoping for history and adventure, but while these are present, they are mostly subordinated to a mild and uninvolving comedy of manners. Disappointing.

I am certainly no historian and do not know much about the medieval ways of life but this book is very well written, well read, entertaining, impossible to put down. It certainly made me go to the library and start reading about that period in the history books!

I am not going to comment on how this book is written because I am not qualified to do so, but as an avid reader I do know what I enjoy. This book was one of the best books I have ever read, and as my eyesight is deteriorating now, I shall be purchasing this book so that I can listen to it as much as I wish. Thanks Audible for making it available.

"Bellow Par"

I'm slowly working my way through award winning science fiction and I was really excited about this book. I have a degree in Medieval History and this seemed to combine my two favorite reading genres. The book however was very disappointing. I can't flaw the history, but the story was so dire. No humor, no passion, no excitement. It was mundane banality. I closed the book with a profound feeling of depression and anti climax. I found it difficult to relate to any of the characters, and often found my self wishing that the book would get to the point. I won't give a one star review. That is reserved for tripe such as Jordan's numerous biographies, but I would not recommend reading this book.

Brief Synopsis

This book has two story threads running through it, both set in and around Oxford.It is set in 2054 and time travel is possible, but done only by historical researchers - but no-one has gone back as far as the 14th century. The story is based in and around Oxford University and a young student called Kivrin who is determined to get back to the 14th century.Kivrin does get back to the 14th century against Mr Dunworthy's advice but the trip is not as straight-forward as she had expected.Kevrin has recorders embedded in her wrists and she records her life in a medieval village - this is what she calls her 'Doomsday Book' and what gives the book its title. There are extracts at the end of many of the chapters.Together with her troubles in the past there is a parallel story being played out in 2054 Oxford and the story chops and changes between the two.An archaeologist is excavating an old abandoned church in 2054 Oxford ares and it is to this village that Kivrin is supposedly being sent back to - so the story plays out supposedly in the same place but different centuries.It does look a long book but it is one I have thoroughly enjoyed each time I have read it.It is quite hard to review the story without giving plot spoilers away but I shall try.This book combined two of my interests - time travel and history.I had not read any of Connie's books before this one so came to it fresh.

Since though I have read a few more of her books and enjoyed them all, but this is my all time favourite.I enjoyed the element of twin stories unravelling together. Though the story set in the 14th century is more compelling for me.I especially enjoyed the details of life and clothing in the 14th century. Plus there was a lot of discussion to begin with as to how words were pronouced and how Kivrin had been taught the wrong pronouceations - though she did have an embedded translator that helped her understand others and also be understood.It was a large book of 650 pages but I read it over a few days and felt sorry when it was finished - though I couldn't wait to get to the end to see what happened. It is a pity that Connie Willis never wrote a sequel to this story.I enjoyed this on two levels - first as a good science fiction read but also as it gave me an added insight into what medieval life was like and I will use that information when I imagine how life was like in and around our little village. Although science fiction in the sense that Kivrin got to the 14th century via time travel, a lot of the book is about her life in the past, how the people there lived, their hopes and dreams and how they persevered through adversity.The research seemed very thorough into living conditions back in the 14th century - from the type of dye used on their clothing to the way women had to behave and how young girls were betrothed at an early age.Some have commented that her geography relating to the Oxford area is not as accurate as it could be but personally I cannot comment and it is a fictional story after all so I do not fault it on that.Being written by an American there are one or two odd turns of phrase - such as 'muffler' instead of 'scarf' and terrorist' clothes instead of 'camouflage'. But these are very small and do not detract from the reading of the story.The future part of the story set in 2054 does rather oddly not feature mobile phones at all - though whether by error or design I am not sure. However it does help with some of the twists of the story which relies on certain people not be able to be contacted.This book is written in such a way that it really brings the people from the past alive - they are there talking with different forms of speech, but they still have their needs and worries as we do today. Some are mean and spiteful while others are generous to a fault.There are one or two bits that could have been edited out to shorten the book but personally I thoroughly enjoyed the easy place of the story.Kivrin was a young girl when she travelled back into the past - but her experience was mind-blowing.I am glad in a way that this has never been turned into a movie. I have such a vivid image of the people and places in the story that I think any film would ruin the illusion of the images I have made.

Award

Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel (1993).

Star Rating

5 stars. An excellent read.

Would I Recommend?

Yes. Even after such a long book I still wanted more.Connie has written other time travel books in the same vein which I have enjoyed - 'Blackout' and 'All Clear'. She has also written other books and many short stories.

Not for the faint-hearted and much better than the books even. The narrator brought the characters alive. I liked the accuracy and personal experience of the Black Plague. As a Time Travel author myself, I was impressed with the plot and how it was tied to the current day storyline to make it more interesting. Young Colin was my favourite character. I'll be listening to Blackout next. I can't wait!
